During a visit to the Fujifilm stand at drupa, representatives from UK printerAugustus Martin confirmed a substantial investment in the flatbed Inca Digital Onset X series, which is sold exclusively by Fujifilm.
‘We’ve found the quality and reliability of the Inca platform and the Fujifilm Dimatix inkjet system to be exceptional’, said Augustus Martin’s founder and joint managing director, Lascelle Barrow. ‘The new Onset X series has preserved all the rich hallmarks of its well-earned reputation, while dramatically increasing production capacity – making this investment a relatively easy decision in the end.’
Keith Dalton, managing director of Fujifilm UK, said, ‘Augustus Martin is a hugely respected and influential company in the UK print industry and Fujifilm is proud to be partnering with them to grow their business still further and confirm their position as a leading UK printer. The added production capacity of the Onset X series machines and the strength of Fujifilm’s new Uvijet OW ink range will, in combination, allow them to pass on a range of benefits to their customers, from reduced turnaround times to increased quality and reliability.’
